Why We Love Jewish Summer Camp

 

Helping children develop greater self-confidence, indpendence, empathy, and problem-solving skills, Jewish camp is a great investment in their future. Because young people who go to Jewish camp tend to stay involved in Jewish community as adults, it is also a sound investment in a strong future for the Jewish community – and the reason Jewish Federation is proud to fund One Happy Camper grants incentivizing first-time campers to try Jewish camp.
